The Tesla Network Ridesharing Platform Is A Bigger Opportunity Than Selling Cars

... ) whose businesses are built on selling cheap cars at very high volume, it could be a boon for companies like Tesla that lead in autonomous technologies. A study put out by the University of Virginia projected that in a 100-square mile radius over the city of Austin, Texas, you would need 32,000 autonomous taxis to take a 10% marketshare of all rides in the area. If this future plays out, the US alone will likely need 1 M+ robotaxis operating across the country, spelling a huge opportunity for Tesla. In its latest July 2016 funding round , Uber was valued at a whopping $68 B. Tesla's market capitalization at $277 per share (assuming 170 M shares outstanding) is $50 B. This is perhaps the most intriguing part of the Uber/Tesla rivalry. Uber is currently valued 36% more than all of Tesla, based on the potential of its ride-sharing platform alone. Some of this discrepancy is most likely due to the fact that Uber is still private while Tesla is subjected to the scrutiny of Wall Street as a public company. However, the difference is still glaring. Tesla's car business already is nearing a $10 B ...

Will We Hold It Wednesday

... or it's an expensive one for us. If all goes well, this currently net $2,163 spread will return $7,500 for a quick $5,337 (246%) return on cash - nice work if you can get it. Speaking of getting it, we got it good this morning with a nice dip on Oil Futures (/CLJ 7) and we took the money and ran at $53.50 with a $620 per contract gain from yesterday's remaining plays in our Live Member Chat Room. Just this morning, while oil was still just under $54, I said to our Members. Oil has been on a wild ride but back under $54 at the moment (/CLJ 7) and the Dollar is no stronger (101.50) than it was yesterday so that's not to blame. Hopefully we'll get a proper breakdown. There's nothing better than making a quick $500+ on each short contract before the market even opens. We're actually ready to go bullish on oil into ...

Quick Highlights From Tesla's Earnings Report

... the delay it puts forward, less than a day, is unrealistic). It's also likely that some of it had to do with the use of high trade-in values to incentivize upgrades and goose Model S/X demand. It should be noticed that this is deferred in time (the CPO car takes time to be sold, and only when sold is the loss from the high trade-in value recognized), so some of the impact would already come from Q 3 2016. What did not hit gross margins was a drop in production. Tesla kept Q 4 2016 production close to Q 3 2016 levels, and it accrued new car inventories as a result. This permits fixed-cost dilution to remain high. However, if Tesla is forced to lower production so as not to continue increasing inventories, such would have a negative gross margin impact. There was a large increase in basic shares outstanding to 155 million shares as a result of the Solar City acquisition. However, this number of shares is an average over the quarter and Solar City was only acquired in November 21. I expect diluted shares outstanding to already exceed 165 million shares. At $280 per share, this gives Tesla a $46.2 billion market ...

Can We Get The Facts Straight

... vehicles this quarter, so why only say you are at 26,000 or more. Finally, we get to deliveries. According to Tesla's 2015 10-K filing , the company was over 107,000 deliveries at the end of that year. More than 76,000 vehicles were sent to customers in 2016, and I believe the final number will be revised higher at the earnings report since it usually is. Tesla also had several thousand units in transit at the end of Q 4, and sites like Inside EVs and Tesla Motors Club show at least another 3-4 k units were delivered to the US and Europe in January. That doesn't include Asia, and it doesn't include the first week or two of this month, so Tesla should be somewhere around 190,000 or perhaps even over. All of this is funny because Elon Musk and his supporters like to brag about how well Tesla is doing. Yet, it ...

How High Before Bears Capitulate

... loss before the weekly close. No one said trading was easy. Now earnings have been digested by the market, and now that we have new information about the strength of the rally, we can look at the bigger picture and new patterns that have formed. This is a basic measure move. If the current rally is equal in size to the rally in early 2016, it will target $308. This is by no means guaranteed, but is a logical path for price. The double top in 2014-2015 is $291, and shorts will have their stops some distance above this point. Short interest is high and a move above $300 should force them to capitulate. TSLA data by YCharts. Shorter term, a pullback is usual before a move to new highs. This is created by short-term profit taking into technical resistance and has the unfortunate outcome of tempting in more shorts thinking the old resistance has held. The squeezing of these shorts will no doubt add to fuel to the fire. In Elliott Wave terms, the pullback would be labeled a wave 4 and would target either the 23.6% Fibonacci retrace at ...

The Great Investor Divide

... 3 in that I always assumed that production delays were inevitable. If Model 3 production even starts by the end of the year, I'll be happy. Investors can't expect Tesla's numbers to be particularly good. As I outlined in my article on Q 4 deliveries, Tesla achieved an impressive 50% growth in vehicle deliveries in 2016 (76,233 cars). But the shortfall in expected deliveries in Q 4 (22,200) meant that the automotive segment will probably not turn an operating profit.

Tesla's Workers Are In Touch With Uaw Organizers

... its production capabilities at its Fremont factory to roll out the first batch of Model 3 cars by the end of this year. (See also: Tesla Model 3 Revealed.). A workers' union could also have a negative impact on Tesla's balance sheet. According to research, publicly listed companies with unionized workers report average profits that are less by between 9% to 15% as compared with their non-unionized counterparts. (See also: Unions: Do They Help or Hurt Workers? ). Tesla is not the only car company being targeted by UAW. A USA Today story details the union's efforts to ramp up its presence at other automakers, such as Volkswagen AG ( VLKAF ) and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. ( NSANY ). However, the union may have a fight on its hands with Tesla, given Musk's proximity to President Trump and the fact that the electric car maker is the only ...

Musk Reveals Details About His Boring Plan

... conferring with President Donald Trump about the nation's economy, Musk is launching rockets and fighting worker unions at his manufacturing plant in Fremont, Calif. Whatever his faults, at least one cannot fault him for living a boring life. Or, maybe he does. (See also: Is Elon Musk Starting a Boring Company? ). In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Musk has revealed more details about The Boring Company, his newest venture, which consists of digging tunnels underneath the ground to reduce traffic congestion. Musk has already dug a pit 15 feet deep and more than 50 feet wide at his Space X headquarters in Los Angeles to test his idea. As he has explained earlier, his intention is to develop a 3 D transportation network, one that incorporates a Y-axis or height (or depth) to the existing length and breadth of paved streets. This ...
